Attrition in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is very low but the sheer size of the organisation inevitably means there are a high number of leavers each month through natural turn over.
The number of leavers has remained relatively stable and averages around 170 – 180 officers per month.
Recruitment patterns are more variable. December intakes are very low whilst January intakes are high. The pace of recruitment is also increasing reflecting the recent MPS recruitment campaigns.
Over the last six months the average number of joiners is 201. Following the Mayor’s investment, recruit intakes in the future will be significantly higher.

MOPAC victims’ unit has for the second time out of two organised briefings to which AMs have been invited, which clash with events in the Chamber requiring the attendance of all AMs; the first was MQT, the second HMD (which after representations was postponed). Will you ensure that in future MOPAC check the Assembly calendar before organising events which they would like AMs to attend?

MOPAC apologises for the clash of dates with Assembly Members’ diaries, and any inconvenience this may have caused. As you stated, the decision was taken to postpone the latter event and the victim’s team are in the process of finding an alternative time for this briefing. MOPAC will endeavour to ensure that the Assembly calendar is consulted when scheduling future briefings for London Assembly Members.
